STAB(5)

NAME
stab - Current PCMCIA device status

DESCRIPTION
/etc/stab is created by cardmgr and contains identification and device driver information for PCMCIA cards. Each socket is described by one header line, followed by one or more device driver lines. The header gives the card name as given in /etc/pcmcia/config. Device driver lines consist of a series of tab-separated fields. The first field is the socket number. The second field is the device driver name. The third field is the device name, and the final two fields are major and minor device numbers for this device. Some fields may not be meaningful for some device types. The file is updated by cardmgr when a card is inserted or ejected, and when cardmgr receives a SIGHUP signal.
